# Blockchain Study Resources

Based on my three years of experience studying blockchain, I've compiled a collection of resources that I found particularly useful and valuable. I hope these materials will be helpful to those who are new to blockchain and looking to deepen their understanding. If you need further study or wish to follow a more structured learning roadmap, I recommend checking out the [Link](https://github.com/protofire/blockchain-learning-path) for additional resources.
